Outlook for MAC to access remote exchange server

I have a client using MAC OSX.  They are a offsite employee of a company that uses SBS2003 and exchange mail.  Is there an application for the MAC that operates like office outlook.  And If so what are the draw backs?

Also,  Does anyone know where to find a step by step to configure Exchange for SBS2003 to allow an outside person to POP their exchange account..

Thank you both,
They are currently using OWA.  
RPC over HTTP?   is puzzeling to me.  There is something about it that is missing.  RPC is a protocol.  What functionality on the MAC supports this?

I will test the pop3 settings this morning.  I thought that service was started.  But I may have missed it.

All of the information everyone has sent is helpful.  The pop service was started.  so something else is wrong.

Techsoeasy, Why do you recommend not using Pop?  The client is already using web access.

Also, If you can find MS Office 2000 (maybe 2004) for Mac it has a Mac version of Outlook (pre-Entourage version).

You have to run it in Classic Mode.  Also, you may need to create a Hosts type file to deal with NETBIOS issues (I had to do this on OS 9 macs before).

My version of Exchange 2003 included a Mac client CD.  Check your CD's, maybe you already have it.



chakko,

I wonder if it even matters now that it's over a year since this question's been asked. Although it would be nice if Tip32a closed it.
And no... SBS's CD's don't include Outlook or Entourage for Mac.
